Loop openness: a video reflection on the open work of art

The objective of this article is to reflect on the video art work in its loop production to perceive the possibility of it being received as an open work. In order to contextualize this reflection the text is anchored in the concept of image-crystal from Gilles Deleuze. For the purpose of empirically explore theoretical concepts such as video art, open work and image-crystal it was produced a practical project of video art that intends to reflect on the notion of time in a context of a loop exhibition. Therefore this project aims to motivate the reflection on the loop as a mechanism to contour the ephemeral character of video art and, at the same time, it seeks to emphasize questions about the element of multiplicity and plurality in art. It is a scientific and artistic project in which the practical component supports the dialectic between theory and practice, action and reflection. In this sense, based on the video entitled "The Walk" this article demonstrates how the theoretical concepts were used to support the artistic creation. Finally the conclusions sustain that the work of video art, when presented in loop, is a creative and expository strategy which encourages multiple interpretations that vary according to the narrative, the context in which it takes place and the attitude and the background of the spectator.

Participação artística : dinamização do Ecomuseu de Torredeita

O presente projeto propõe acrescentar valor ao património do Ecomuseu de Torredeita através da Animação Artística. A criação de uma performance artística traduzida numa visita itinerante pelo Ecomuseu, é a proposta apresentada no sentido de dinamizar a localidade de Torredeita e o Ecomuseu em si. O trabalho é realizado em conjunto com a comunidade, mobilizando sinergias locais e chamando todos os intervenientes a ter um papel ativo na participação artística. A música, o teatro, as tradições e o humor dão vida a cenários museológicos característicos de ofícios e profissões antigas. O que é a arte como trabalho coletivo e até que ponto a animação artística poderá trazer valor a espaços museológicos são questões que este projeto coloca.
